SadieN Posted September 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Possibly. We enjoyed it on our three day on the Golden in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It may well depend on the particular sailing. We did have a pub lunch on a 4 day cruise but I've been told by others that it's something that "may or may not" happen on these shorter cruises. Hopefully you will have one. Some say they are a total waste but we enjoyed ours and are looking forward to doing it on our next cruises as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1Nanna Posted September 17, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks for your replies! We enjoyed it in the past and are hoping it will be available on this short 3 day California costal. Edited September 17, 2014 by #1Nanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsSoCalCruiser Posted September 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2014 They served the Pub Lunch on each of my 3 day cruises. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1313 Posted September 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Last month on our 5 day cruise they had it twice. Then when we stayed on for the 4 day they did not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredie Posted September 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't know how you know this for sure!!!! Never underestimate the lure of mushy peas. :) I'm going to be optimistic, too, and believe they will have the lunch on my two upcoming short cruises.

I think Coveguy4 is saying it's only held on sea days. That's certainly a "for sure!!!!" BTW, for me it is Bangers and Mash, washed down with a Boddington's Ale.

RMM34667 Posted September 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Last month on our 5 day cruise they had it twice. Then when we stayed on for the 4 day they did not have it. That is good to know! I will be sure to go during the 5 day KNOWING it might not be there on my 4 day! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted September 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 21, 2014 What exactly is this pub lunch? Is there a menu posted somewhere? A fee? What makes it better from the MDR lunch? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted September 21, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The lunch will be advertised in the Patter. It happens on sea days. There is no extra charge (except for beverages from the bar) and the idea is to replicate an authentic lunch in a pub. It is usually held in one of the bars or one of the steak restaurants. The menu is typical pub fare: fish and chips, bangers and mash, etc. I think there is a picture of one of the menus around here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruiseprincess Posted September 22, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We've tried it a number of times and don't really care for the menu except that the desserts that are pretty good. :D Get there early....it can get crowded.

Dambuster Posted September 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Lerin As a Brit ( Scotland is still with the UK thank god!!! ) and a regular Princess cruiser(Platinum), we always attend the Pub lunch. It is a quite good approximation to a British pub lunch. The Fish and chips really need a good covering of Malt vinegar!!! Mushy peas are an art form to get right, but still the ship makes a valiant effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted September 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks for the response it sounds good, I'll do a search for a menu.We had a couple different menus this summer. I can only seem to find a photo of the second one, though. It included: Fish and chips: Deep-fried cod fillet in batter with chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce and malt vinegar Breaded prawns & chips in the basket: Favourite pub grub with ketchup and tartar sauce Chicken curry: Deliciusly [sic] spiced, served with aromatic rice pilaf Scotch egg and salad, from the pantry :confused:: A hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried Sherry trifle: One of Britain's most loved desserts, a layered treat of sponge, fruit, jelly and cream I believe the other menu had fish and chips, steak and kidney pie, and a ploughman's lunch. Maybe bangers and mash. I forget the dessert, maybe sticky toffee pudding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
